Kanye West was reportedly "acting erratically" before he was taken to hospital and placed under assessment a day after cancelling his Life of Saint Pablo Tour.
The Fade rapper - who is receiving treatment in hospital - was at the home of his trainer Harley Pasternak when police were called, with cops responded to calls on Monday afternoon.
It is thought he was handcuffed in the back of an ambulance for his own safety, and while he was resistant as paramedics arrived, he was calmer and eventually agreed it was best to go.
It has been reported that Kanye is being treated for sleep deprivation and exhaustion, according to People magazine.
"He is exhausted and currently dealing with sleep deprivation,” a source told the magazine.
"He went to the hospital at will under the advice of his physician. He's fine."
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed it responded to a report of disturbance but the incident was deemed a "medical emergency".
A Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman said: "At 1.20pm, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to an unspecified medical aid request in the 900 block of North Laurel Avenue.
"An adult male described as medically stable was taken to an area hospital for assessment."
An insider told People magazine: "He's just exhausted. He's been working around the clock on fashion design, both on his own line and the Adidas line.
"He's a notorious workaholic, so balancing both that work - which is extremely important to him - and the rigors of the tour every night, it really wore him out.
"I'm sure Kim and his family played a part in the decision [to cancel the tour].
He's incredibly devoted to his family."
The Only One hitmaker decided to pull the plug on a series of concerts he was due to play across North America this month and into December.
